It's because you didn't have a strong father figure isn't it?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I agree, though it's probably something I could adjust to over time if it's too much of a PITA to fix.

Worse comes to worst, we can just go back to the old code until the bugs are worked out.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Absolutely.

good. I unsubscribed then. I get wierded out with more than 3-4 threads in my MC.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Is it just me, or is the board a little slow today?

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I now have Apocalyse and COMM in my center-of-the-page list of subscribed threads, in addition to having them on the right side. Is this intentional?

I do, too. It's pretty weird.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Can we distinguish between what's a bug (code's not supposed to do that) and what's unwanted (I don't like it when the code does that)?

My reading of this is that it works, but people don't like how, not that it doesn't work. Am I correct, or are there bugs I need to be tracking too?

Not counting your unread posts, DX, since you said it was happening before. And I've tracked down what broke the link I posted last night. Which led me to a bug that's been in the code forever, so now that's fixed, and pointed out another that I need to think on for a while.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

I found that this happened to me because in my profile I had the admin thread checked so I unsubscribed. But when I click "Read New" it doesn't pull up the admin threads.

You need to subscribe for read new to pull it up.

Were you deliberately trying to have the admin threads show up in the center column of the Message Center? If not, it's a bug.

Is this related to adding folders, or something else?

Not counting your unread posts, DX, since you said it was happening before.

Yup. I only mentioned it because it had just happened, but it's something that I've been noticing for awhile.

Yes, but yesterday when I was subscribed to BBaBB, for example, it was not located in the list of subscribed threads in my message center but stayed on the side of the screen. When I clicked "Read new" it would pull me to the admin threads if needed.

I'm just basically echoing everything others have said this morning about the admin threads showing up in the message center lists.
